Cele, on Thursday morning, told police officers and other security agencies, deployed in and around the Mother City to ensure safety and security at the SONA.
He's reminded them of their duty to enforce the law.
"You don't smile, you don't romance criminality, and you don't show your teeth when it comes to those who break the law.
"You measure the law and implement it. The constitution calls upon you to enforce the law and protect inhabitants."
